Murray Earns First Win of the Season
Team DOLAN’s Niall
Murray made the trip to the Scottish highlands for rounds four, five and six of the BRSCC run series aim- ing to extend his margin at the top of
ship standings. The
Knockhill Circuit
provided a huge challenge and threw up a few sur- prise results. In qualifying, it looked as if Murray may not have it all his own way for the second weekend of the year, setting the fifth fastest time aboard is Van Diemen RF99. Off the line in the first
race, it was a clean getaway and positions remained un- changed for the opening two laps. Murray was on a charge and moved ahead of Jamie Thorburn and Nico Gruber and slipped ahead before
the Safety
Car neutralised the field for two laps. The race would ultimately finish with a red flag, crucially for Murray at the right time as he secured second just one tenth of a

second behind teammate Matt Round-Garrido. On Sunday morning Niall was on the outside of the front row and again set off in hot pursuit of the lead but he was forced wide exiting the hairpin. Down in tenth at the end of the opening lap he eventual- ly drove into first position and just as he took over the lead, the Safety car was de- ployed but Niall remained in charge to take his first win of the weekend. The third and final race
would be a drama filled affair. Niall picked up some extensive damage but
the Team DOLAN
crew worked miracles and Murray was quickly able to climb up the field. Howev- er, before Niall could make any real advances, he was forced into retirement with some legacy issues from his earlier incident severely af- fecting the handling of his Van Diemen RF99. “I think its best just to
focus on the positives of this weekend, where once again we proved that Team DOLAN is the best team in the paddock. I picked up my second win and despite the issues around the third race
this weekend, still
managed to maintain my lead in the championship.”

will be served before the panel discussions begin. Patrick Magee, Coun-
try Operations Director Renault
Ireland said:
“Following on from great success last year, we are delighted to get back on the
Ireland’s sporting
road with some of greats
and Renault ambassadors - Marc Ó Sé, Dessie Dolan and Alan Brogan - and we’re thrilled to be joined this year by the legendary Anthony Daly and Mick Galwey. We’re looking forward to plenty more friendly rivalry and live- ly debate on the road this summer!”
New Jaguar Land Rover Oil from Liqui Moly
With the trend towards
ever less viscous motor oils to facilitate lower fuel consumption and emis- sions continuing at pace, German oil and additive specialist LIQUI MOLY has developed a new oil specifically for Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles. Spe- cial Tec LR 0W-20 is offi- cially approved by Jaguar Land Rover. This STJLR 51.5122 approval is re- quired in the latest petrol engines in Jaguars and Land Rover models. Oliver Kuhn, assistant manager
laboratory at
LIQUI MOLY says, “0W- 20 is a particularly low viscosity motor oil. The engineers at
Jaguar and Land Rover use this as one
of many adjustment screws to reduce consumption and minimise emissions. After all, a thin oil can be more easily pumped and has less inside resistance. This means the engine loses less performance. The
0W-20 is not suitable for
any other models.” Oliver points out that
as well as the trend to ever more viscous oils, a further market
ever more chal-
lenge is for such a thin oil to still reliably lubricate the engine even under extreme load.” Special Tec LR 0W-20 is a special development exclusively for Jaguar and Land Rover.Oliver says, “The two brands used to simply follow the oil spec- ifications of their former owner, Ford, but since 2014 they have gone their own way. This takes them ever further away from Ford. That’s why Special Tec LR
trend is towards specialist
oils,
which have a limited num- ber of very specific applica- tions. This means the varie- ty of oil types will continue to rise and therefore it will become more and more difficult for garages and drivers to keep an overview. Oliver says the free online oil guide by LIQUI MOLY at
www.liqui-moly.com offers a quick and conven- ient
information solution
where you just enter the make, model and engine to immediately view a list of the right oils.
